Landmark Marina, city centre

  • Old Customs House & Harbour

A row of 19th-century ochre warehouses anchoring the marina, now the visual heart of the harbour.

About

  • AreaMarina, city centre

  • TypeLandmark

Full description

The old customs house and rail depot buildings sit right at the marina, their ochre facades and red-tile roofs giving the harbour its most photographed backdrop. Fishing boats and small yachts moor directly in front, with the modern city rising behind.

It's an easy stop on any walk along the seafront — pair it with a coffee at one of the harbourside cafés and watch the boats come in.
